Symbol Technologies MC70 D

Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding

density than Code 39.

Code Length. Number of data characte rs in a ba r cod e bet w ee n the start and stop characters, not including those

characters.

Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and er ases all user stored records and entries.

COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2.

Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no

intercharac te r ga ps in a cont inu ou s co de . Th e ab se nce of gaps allows for greater information den sity.

Cradle. A cradle is used for charging the term inal battery and for comm unicating with a host computer, and provid es a

storage place for the terminal when not in use.

D

Data Communicatio n s Equipment (DCE). A device (such as a modem) which is designed to attach dir ectly to a DTE

(Data Termin al Equ ipm e nt ) device .

DCE. See Data Communications Equipment.

DCP. See Device Configuration Pack age.

Dead Zone. An area within a scanner's field of view, in which specular reflection may prevent a successful decode.

Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specific bar code

scanned.

Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers

encoded within a bar code symbol.

Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key.

Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a

certain minimum element width.

Device Configuration Package. The Symbol Device Configuration Pa ckage provides the Product Reference Guide

(PRG), flash partitions, Termi nal Configuration M anager (TCM) an d the associa ted TCM scripts. With this package

hex images that represent flash partitions can be created and downloaded to the mobile computer.

Discrete Code. A bar co de or symbol in which the spaces betwee n characters (inter character gaps) ar e not part of the

code.

Discrete 2 of 5. A binary bar code sym bology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are

wide. The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insign ificant. Only

numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.

DRAM. Dynamic random access memory.
